Would You Like To Have Some Of The Beauty?
Let’s start with something that is truly a funny way to respond to someone who says you are beautiful. This response will be perfect if the person who’s complimenting is a lady.
It Does Come With A Lot Of Pain, You Know
Trying to maintain beauty can be painful as it takes so much effort. You can say “It does come with a lot of pain, you know” when someone tells you how beautiful you are. Just to bring it to their notice if they want to join in the beauty game.
Come Back When You Have Something New To Say To Me
If you want a funny and sarcastic response to “You are beautiful,” this is a good example to try. Being told how beautiful you are is probably something you hear all the time from a lot of people.
If the person’s trying to hit on you, your response can be “Come back when you have something new to say to me.”
Everyone Thinks I Am As Beautiful As Beyonce Until They See Me Dance
I got this response from someone I had met some months before I wrote this piece. Not sure if she thought I was trying to hit on her but her response when I told her how beautiful she is was “Everyone thinks I am as beautiful as Beyonce until they see me dance.” Funny how she’s actually a very good dancer.
You can try other examples that relate to something else like:
- A lot of people think I am beautiful until they see me eating burgers
- Wait till you see me waking up in the morning, you might have a change of heart
Are You Sure You Don’t Need Glasses To See Clearly?
This is another clever way to respond to someone who compliments your appearance. Could be suggestive of the fact that you don’t think you are as beautiful as they are trying to rave about. Or it could be that they didn’t have their glasses on when they saw you.
Did Scales Suddenly Fall From Your Eyes?
When you have a friend who suddenly says you are beautiful, you would be surprised. For such a context, you can say “Did scales suddenly fall from your eyes?” There has to be a logical explanation for why they now see you as being beautiful. This response will also suffice when a sibling compliments you this way.
You’ll Need To Do More For Me To Be Impressed
For someone who’s hitting on you and tries to say you are beautiful, you can get them to step up their game by saying “You’ll need to do more for me to be impressed.” This will make a lot of sense when the person is crushing on you.
Oh Yeah, It Runs In Our Family
When you have to sound sarcastic, “Oh yeah, it runs in our family” is enough sarcasm of a response to give when someone says you are beautiful. You might want to be appreciative later but being funny is usually about not considering that it is a compliment.
Finally, Someone That Recognises Good Things
You can also use this response when someone tells you that you are beautiful. If you are in a place where nobody has told you about how good you look, this is a good example to use.
It could be while you are at a function, a company ball or any place where you just thought you’d get your flowers about your looks earlier than you just received them.
Stating The Obvious Sounds A Bit Boring, You Know
For when it is clear that someone’s hitting on you but you aren’t interested in their move, you can say “Stating the obvious sounds a bit boring, you know.” You know you are beautiful, so why are they trying to say it like it is something new?
You could say:
- Don’t be boring, tell me something new
- If I told you I’ve heard that enough, what else would you say?
Should I Say Thank You When You State A Fact?
Another funny statement that can be used as a response to “You’re beautiful” is to say “Should I say thank you when you state a fact?” It works in the same scenarios as the previous example, but it is a more formal approach to your savagery.
Oh Really? Don’t Be Deceived. It is a Snapchat Filter. Hahaha
This is funny and weird. You are acting surprised at the compliment while trying to downplay it. Using that response will make sense when you are having playful banter, in a conversation with a friend, or with an acquaintance. Feel free to use it if you feel a bit insecure about your looks.
What Are You Hoping To Achieve? Should I Be Scared?
“What are you hoping to achieve? Should I be scared?” is another way to respond to “You are beautiful.” It expresses skepticism about the compliment with the intention to be humorous. A good time to use this is when you are getting to know someone or while a flirtatious conversation is going on.
Oh, That One is On My Skincare Routine
Regardless of what your skincare routine is or whether you have any at all, “Oh, that one is on my skincare routine” is a humorous way to respond to a “You are beautiful” remark.
If they ask what your skincare routine is, you can be funnier with a response like “I just drink lots of water and do my best to stay in my lane. That’s why I am this beautiful.”
Thank Goodness My Dad Wasn’t Drunk When He Decided To Get Married To My Mom
We know our looks are influenced by our parents. So, when someone thinks you are beautiful, you can attribute it to the wise choice your parents made to come together. Being drunk might have impaired your dad’s choice so it is not out of place to use a statement like this.
Such a twist will be unexpected and it can truly make the conversation lighthearted.
Why Am I Still Single?
Ask them why you are still single if you are as beautiful as they claim. I’m sure they won’t be expecting and if you don’t mind sounding needy or desperate. If you are using this as a response to a boy’s compliment, it could be suggestive. So, apply caution.
- One would expect that I’d be able to keep a man since I am that beautiful but that’s not the case
- Then I shouldn’t be single or am I not beautiful enough for men today?
I Wish It Would Make Me A Bit Taller
You know how you wish you could take a different shape or form even though people appreciate a side of you already? Well, you can use that to respond to “You are beautiful.” If you aren’t so tall, you could say “I wish it would make me a bit taller.”
Alternatively, you say “I wish it would make me a bit fatter.” The goal is to say you wished your beauty will complement another area you might be lacking in.
You Want Me To Double It And Give It To The Next Person?
I am sure you must have come across the trend where someone asks if they should give someone something or double it and give it to the next person. It is a funny way to respond to “You are beautiful” and if you need something with a punch of humor, this is an example you can try.
I Bet You Wish You Were
This could be too far of a response so you have to be careful who you use it on. When your best friend or sibling tells you that you are beautiful, you can reply with “I bet you wish you were” to suggest that they are envious of you and would like to be as beautiful as you are.
Also, it is safer to give this response to someone who you are sure isn’t insecure about their looks.
I’d Be Happy If It Could Solve World Hunger
Saying you wish your beauty could solve one of the many problems in the world is another funny way to respond to the compliment.
For instance, “I’d be happy if it could solve world hunger” suggests you want to fix hunger in the world. You can always find other problems that are there to be solved like global warming, natural disaster, poverty, and so on.
It will even make sense if the person you are talking to has expressed their desire to solve a particular problem. Making that your example will suffice.
